How do I make pages open a template on launch?

I just switched from Office Mac to pages because I got a retina macbook, and Office looked all blurry.
Anyway, I made a perfect template for myself and set it to the default, but still when I open pages, it opens the finder window that lets you choose a document. How to I make it open a new document using my template when I launch it?
Thanks!

Pages ’09 v4.3 on OS X 10.8.5.
Pages > Preferences > General : Use template : Choose...
Pick the Template you want, close Preferences. The next time you launch Pages, it will default to the specified Template.

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How do i make links open in a new tab

    Hi There,
    Can someone please tell me how to get iWeb to set pages to open on a new tab when links are clicked.
    Like when someone is viewing my website, I want the links in that website to open in a new tab within the web-browser when someone clicks on them. I know I can make links open in a New window but how do I make them open in a new tab.
    Thanks a bunch
    Jason

    There is no HTML command to open windows in tabs.
    Only these commands are available :
    target="_blank"
    target="_top"
    target="_new"
    Opening a new page in a tab is decided by the browser preferences.
    In Safari : Preferences > Tabs

  • How do I make Pages the default word processing program?

    How do I make Pages the default word processing program, including Appleworks files?
    I want any Appleworks file I open to open in Pages - is there a setting to make that happen?

    Hello ADW,
    To change the default programme used to open a filetype, Get Info on one of the files you are looking to set, the change the Open With selection to Pages.
    Then click on Use this application to open all documents like this one.
    You will have to repeat this for each file type you want to use that way.

  • How do I make safari open with blank page but keep resume?

    Since Lion, Safari always opens with the last opened website.
    I don't want that! How can I make sure that Safari opens
    with a full and BLANK screen ???
    Specifically I do NOT want to uncheck resume function for ALL
    applications. I want to FORCE Safari to open a specific website,
    or a blank page - REGARDLESS if resume is on or off !!!
    My computer doesn't do what I want!
    Is this a ALPHA version???

    Here you go:
    Go to terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO
    You can also do the same for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

  • How do I make page borders on Pages?

    Can anyone explain to me how to make page borders on the Pages program? I typed it into help, but it only told me how to make borders for paragraphs. In Word it was under "Format" Borders adn there were lots of choices of great borders there - both lines and graphics.
    I have a mutli-page document and want a nice looking border that will automatically put itself onto all the pages in the document.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

    There is no command to place a border on a page. However, it is quite easy to draw a border. Set your margins and then resize the Pages document window so you can see the entire page. Under the view menu, select 'Show Layout' and 'Show Rulers'. Now insert a rectangle or rounded rectangle shape, resize and move it as you like. Open the inspector and select the Graphics tab. Select the background and line colors, etc. Under the Arrange menu, select 'Send Objects to Background' and you'll probably also want to select 'Lock'. You might also want to capture the page (Format > Advanced > Capture) if you intend to make a multi-page document.
    Yes, this is a bit more involved than Word but it isn't that big a deal. I've created a template with about 10 different border styles and I pull it out whenever I need it.

  • How do you make pages default document reader

    Hi
    I have just started using pages and i cant seem to work out how to make it the default application to open up the many documents i have.
    Every time i open a document it opens in textedit, i know that you can choose in properties with which program to open it with, but i am getting really fed up of doing this.
    is there any way to make pages the default instead of textedit program.

    p.s I used to use MS office but i cant be bothered to reinstall it and most of my docs are .doc (office format)

    kb,
    You can set .doc files to open in Pages, and it’s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’'s not in the menu). To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button.
    You can do the same thing with other types of files, like RTF or plain text.
